Dutch King and German Knight

Sudoku Pad: sudokupad.app/8ixa535uh4

Two souls, a king and a knight, seek a forgotten path to the lands they were born to find. Lead them true.

Normal Sudoku rules apply.

The Path:

Draw a single-cell-wide path that moves orthogonally. The path must not branch, cross itself, or even touch itself diagonally. The path does not enter cages. It starts at START (r9c3) and ends at FINISH (r9c9). Along the path, adjacent digits must differ by at least 4.

Knightfall Cells:

There are exactly 11 Knightfall Cells (all placed on the Path), including the START and FINISH cells. Along the path, each Knightfall must be a single knight’s move (in chess) away from the previous one. Between Knightfall cells, the path must follow a knight’s move (L-shape). Digits on Knightfall Cells that are a knight’s move apart must differ by at least 5.

Killer Cages:

The path does not enter any cages. Digits in each cage must sum to the small clue.

Sentinel Arrows:

Each arrow tip (circle) represents a Knightfall Cell. Arrow lines are part of the path. Not all arrows are necessarily given. Digits along a single arrow must sum to the digit in the arrow’s circle. For a double arrow, the digits along the line must sum to the combined total of both circles.

Solution code: 8th Knightfall Cell

Solution code fix. Value of 8th Knightfall Cell (digit only)

I think this is more of a 3* puzzle. Clueless about how to interpret "8th Knightfall Cell" though.

I see someone completed the puzzle, but I do not understand the solution code. What is the format for the code?

Hmm... It appears I don't understand the solution code. Oh well. Puzzle is pretty good.
